当地时间7月9日，斯里兰卡首都科伦坡爆发大规模抗议活动。抗议者冲入了总统戈塔巴雅·拉贾帕克萨的官邸，包围了总理维克拉马辛哈的住宅，要求两人辞职。
On July 9, local time, large-scale protests broke out in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Protesters stormed the official residence of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and surrounded the residence of Prime Minister Wickremesinghe, demanding the resignation of both officials.
这是由于斯里兰卡已深陷经济社会危机数月，民生物价大涨，日用品缺乏，货币贬值，民众生活急剧恶化。
That is because Sri Lanka has been in deep economic and social crisis for several months, the price of living things has risen sharply, daily necessities are scarce and the currency has depreciated. People's lives have deteriorated badly.
随后，总统戈塔巴雅·拉贾帕克萨以及总理维克拉马辛哈先后表示愿意辞职，以利于组建各党派参与的新政府。
Subsequently, the President and the Prime Minister expressed their willingness to resign, in order to facilitate the formation of a new government involving all parties.
President of Sri Lankan Gotabaya Rajapaksa
长年以来，斯里兰卡经济依靠初级产业——主要是服装业、旅游业、茶叶、橡胶支撑，其中旅游业和茶叶是利润大头。
For many years, Sri Lanka's economy has been supported by primary industries - mainly clothing, tourism, tea and rubber, of which tourism and tea are the most profitable.
2019年戈塔巴雅·拉贾帕克萨上台后，推出了一系列经济改革政策，主要包括增值税从15%降为8%，以刺激企业发展；推行有机农业改革方案，促进整个国家农业实现“绿色种植”，以提高农产品附加值，阻止外汇流出。
In 2019, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa came to power. He launched a series of policies on economic reform, mainly including the reduction of value-added tax from 15% to 8%; the implementation of organic agricultural reform plans to increase the added value of agricultural products and prevent foreign exchange outflows.
但事实证明，这一系列改革政策，对于斯里兰卡经济来说过于超前。
However, it turns out that these series of policies are too advanced for Sri Lankan in term of its economy situation.
另外，新冠肺炎重创了斯里兰卡主要的产业支柱——旅游业，这也大大缩减了斯里兰卡的外汇来源。俄乌冲突导致全球食品和能源价格飙升，更加剧了斯里兰卡的危机。
In addition, the COVID-19 has hit Sri Lanka's tourism, the main industrial pillar, which greatly reduces Sri Lanka's foreign exchange sources. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has sent global food and energy prices soaring, exacerbating the economic crisis in Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan government has also been trying to get out of the woods.
据路透社报道，斯里兰卡正在向IMF寻求30亿美元的救助，重组部分外债，并从多边和双边渠道筹措资金，以缓解美元短缺。但政治不稳定可能会破坏斯里兰卡与IMF的谈判，并不利于斯里兰卡寻求经济复苏。
Sri Lanka is seeking a $3 billion bailout from the IMF and trying to restructure some of its foreign debt and raise funds from multilateral and bilateral sources to ease the dollar shortage, as Reuters reported. But political instability could derail Sri Lanka's negotiations with the IMF and be detrimental to Sri Lanka's economic recovery.
此外，据国际货币基金组织和世界银行等机构的综合数据来看，除斯里兰卡外，阿根廷、土耳其、巴西、巴基斯坦、马来西亚、埃及、印尼、墨西哥、黎巴嫩、印度、越南、尼泊尔、缅甸、蒙古国、泰国、秘鲁等至少17国或都已陷入美元债务陷阱。
Besides, according to the data of the IMF and the World Bank, apart from Sri Lanka, Argentina, Turkey, Brazil, Pakistan, Malaysia, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Lebanon, India, Vietnam, Nepal, Myanmar, Mongolia, Thailand, Peru at least 17 countries or have fallen into the dollar debt dilemma.
